193329817New York 1933. Brown pebbled cloth quarter bound with red leather. Pink paper labels with inclusive dates on spines; journal number written in black ink over-written in white ink.

Nevertheless an About VG - VG set. 2 volumes. 1000 numbered pages. 14" x 8-1/2" 36 cm x 23 cm. <br/><br/>Hook and Ladder Company No. 27 was originally part of Combined Engine Company 46 - Bronx which was organized on July 11 1881. The Company moved to new quarters at 451 E. 176th Street on April 1 1895. The Combined Engine Company was disbanded in order to organize Engine 46 and Hook and Ladder Company 27 on June 1 1904. In a NYTimes article of April 18 1904 it was announced that Fire Commissioner Hayes had established a new Fire Department Battalion in the Bronx to be known as the Seventeenth. This Battalion included Hook and Ladder Company 27. Hook and Ladder Company 27 was located at 453 E. 176th Street. The Company was relocated to new quarters at 460 Cross Bronx Expressway on November 6 1972 at which time it was disbanded to organize Ladder 58. The two journals provide an in-depth and fascinating glimpse into the daily operations of one of New York's finest Hook and Ladder Company No. 27. Noted down to the minute are the times the men came on duty and when they were relieved; when drills took place; inspections; testing of the telegraph equipment; who was on house watch and when he was relieved; exactly when an alarm came in by what method and from what station. Certain members of the Company were more complete in their entries stating that the Company and apparatus responded to alarm where they found the fire and when they returned to the station. A nice set documenting a segment of the NYFD's long illustrious history. hardcover books

1906List821San Francisco 1906. Thirty-one silver gelatin prints measuring 4 x 3 inches with four accompanying sheets measuring 8 x 5 ½ inches identifying the images. Also included is the original envelope to an illegible recipient or possibly crediting the images. Fading to images else about fine very good minus overall. Many photographers amateur and professional alike took to the streets of San Francisco to document devastation caused by the earthquake and subsequent fire of 1906. Collected here are thirty-one images taken by one such photographer - likely an amateur based on the image quality and perspectives. What is unusual about the collection here is that the photographer took meticulous notes on each image and the images as found in a rather illegible envelope included several sheets explaining the location of each image. The photographer travelled through most of downtown with varied locations represented. The title is likely misleading as the fire raged for several days and the pictures were likely taken several days after the 18th of April. The envelope has the name "Mrs H. Thof illegible" which suggests that perhaps the photographer was a woman or possibly that these were given to the same as a gift by another photographer. Overall a scarce survival of images of which we find no other copies. books
